TOO MUCH LAW.

Congress and about twenty State
Legislatures are now making laws
with a rapidity that is somewhat
startling when one thinks about it.
The time is near at hand when il
will be almost impossible to keep
track of all State and national laws.
-.SdUdnndh NeacS.
That time is already here. There
is NO one little head large enough to
contain all the laws, State and Ma
tlonal, in force. 1t is an age of too
much law, and yet Congress and the
Legislatures keep grinding them out
by the cart load to remain on the
statute books as dead letters. Even
the Supreme Courts join the process
sion and make as many or more laws
as do the Legislatures. There are a
few SIM lie laws founded upon right
and justice that the people keep, but
outside OF this, they are in ignorance
of the volumes of laws that are en-
acted from year to year. The law
yers themselves, who make law a
daily study, are not fully posted as
to all laws in force. Too much law
is the ruling passion OF law makers.
The essence of law, said Alexander
Stephens, is to keep one man from
hurting another

THE YANKEE COLONY" At mARIer1.

a Northern gentleman was speaking to
US awhile back about the number of peonle
who had moved from the Northwest and
from the East to Marietta, and remarked in
Joeular way, The first thing you know
the Yankees will be in possession of Mariet-
ia"
We desire to say to him and his associ-
ates that the acquisition of more of the
same sort will be hailed with great deal OF
qualification and pride by the people of Ma
retta and Of Georgia
Instead OF coming down for the purpose
of carping at Southern customs, and en-
deavoring to cheat the Southern people
they have brought their money, and tens Of
thousands OF it at that, aud have invested il
IN enterprises which are not only building
dp Marietta, but spreading their benefits
throughout North Georgia.
They assimilate with the Southern people
and there has gotten to be genial whole
souled feeling Of cooperation and mutually
OF pleasant sentiment which give promise O
great results Tor the future.
Marietta is on regular boom, and is sale
to be the best advertised town of its size il
America. 1t has substantial backing for al
the praise which is given it, and there is nj
/ element which promotes greater part O
this backing than the Yankee Colony
All hail such PLEASANT whoe-soued Yam
KEGS as these are who live in Marietta!
The Western & Atlantic railroad is re
cognized as one of the greatest factors il
the practical reconciliation between the sec
tons which were SO estranged some year,
ago, 1t is source of great pride to thu
company that upon its line is the ''pretties

For many years Mr.. Burklett had
